ive been told that a orchi actually causes the body to produce a chemical that converts in just that way, but i haven't ever heard it from a doctor. i will look around to see if i can find confirmation, but it isn't perfect even if it does work.

Joanna, organs wouldn't be necessary. All you'd need would be an implant, put across blood circulation (as in, the blood goes through it somehow), that contains the enzyme(s) used by ovaries to create estradiol. The chemical reaction would do itself just like it does in natural organs, wouldn't it? Now, add a little micro-computer, powered by body heat, that would check current blood levels and adjust output accordingly, and you have your perfect implant. It's probably even possible with current capabilities, with a lot of research and development. But trans people aren't important enough for that.

There are people other than trans people who could benefit from it though right? Menopausal women for example.

Not to mention women who have had a full hysterectomy or even had there ovaries fail after a partial, women who have had.ovarian cancer, the list can go on. Thing i have noticed is a LARGE majority of surgeries, pills etc. that make our transition possible weren't even thought of so that we could transition but were originally developed for cis gendered females but later adapted for us.

Very true.

I would pay a whole year's salary for a permanent self monitoring hormone implant that lasted the rest of my life. Like a pacemaker with girl juice in it.

Holy wow that would be... the best.

Best. Idea. Ever.

 My favorite things about being a girl is being me.

Since I've begun presenting as a girl, there's this obvious thing: It's such a relief not to be looked at weird by everyone for being a strange guy-girl-thing.

I sure couldnt take cute fun pics back in boy mode

Ok, I finally found the chemical I referenced in my earlier post. It is called aromatase, and its primary function is converting testosterone into estrogen. I have a more in depth explanation, but I'll spare you all the medical babble.

The thing is that an orchiectomy causes the body to produce noticeably higher amounts of aromatase.

Hum... This explains so much from the past ?

That's a good point

Shocked to see not a lot of people said heels....personally i love them more then anything.

Not sure if you're full time Kariann, but heels are a bitch day in day out.

give me my flats anyday over a pair of heels, however, I do love a sexy or cute pair of heels.


Corwynn, has to be one of the better things, always loved when a guy cries, he's weak, when a girl cries, she's strong.

Yes, like during the sad scenes in a movie when your eyes are glistening with tears, the BF glances at you, gives a faint smile, and mutters "Girls!". The appropriate response is "Oh shut up!" LOL! 

My favorite part about being a girl...

...is being properly gendered as a girl

I love the heels, lingerie, all the cute clothes

Relaxing in the tub while shaving my legs. Then the coolness
of rubbing moisturizer on my body, knowing that this is my
time, to be me.

But most of all, looking into the mirror and seeing that person
smile back at me. That's something I never knew before.

Love, wearing  lingerie... that soft feeling is amazing... and I love the sexy feeling I have when wearing..

I love the feeling of thongs...

Clothes, including lingerie, are big ones for me too. And you can't beat finally matching inside and out.
